Anand choose to avoid the double-edged Nimzo-Indian of Game 2 by playing 3.Nf3. Kramnik then transposed into a Queen’s Gambit Declined with 3…d5. After the fireworks in Game 3, and a one game lead in this short match, Anand seemed content with the draw that soon ensued. Kramnik, for his part, continued his pattern of not taking extra chances
with the Black pieces, but he doesn’t have many more games with the White pieces to make up his one game deficit. The match games can be viewed here: FIDE World Championship 2008 Games.
